D E S C R I P T I O N   Program   PS events   version 1.2
 
      E-shop
       

     PS Events
is automated program for making photographs at events - proms, parties, weddings, races, golf tournaments, conferences ..
     The program can be set up in advance and during the event, you can take only pictures .. everything else is running automatically !

     When you send the image from your camera ( for example via WIFI ) to hot folder on your computer - the program detects it - puts the image
     ( if you wish ) into prepared frame / logo - inserts additionally specific text and this whole composition is sent at
automatic execution mode
     to photo printer Mitsubishi immediately.
     The image can be ( aside printing ) uploaded in lower resolution to Facebook album simultaneously

     You can operate program at
manual execution mode, which is similar to automatic one - you see single images, but you ( or your customer )
     has to decide to each displayed image whether to send it to printer or discard it.  After one image is sent to printer,  next image is displayed
     waitting for your command.

      When you organize an event, where participants are also interested in making their own photographs from their smart phones, you can set other
      hot folder to download images from social networks ( Twitter / Instagram ) and this way to add to event all images taken by mobile phones

      The program has 2 independent channels, so you can connect 2 Mitsubishi printers = to print 2 different photo formats simultaneously
    
( printer CP-D707DW with 2 printing units is considered by program like 2 printers - you can connect only one printer 707 )

     Mitsubishi has prepared for special applications even
perforated paper CK-D746-PF42,  which divides photo 10x15cm in 2 parts -
     area 10x10cm for printing of captured images and strip 10x5 cm for voucher / coupon etc. Thanks to perforation, strip can be easily tear off. 
     Your specific layout can be loaded into the program and print out incl. images automatically on perforated photo !
    
     
Please read following description /
simplest example of use - wedding  :
   
      1. step       Start with   " New event  "
 
 
New event is for example wedding you are going to shoot. Any event can then be saved to disc ( including all images )
and you can open it whenever later (
Open event ).
If you have prepared or selected for wedding some universal frames, texts  .. all presets can be used for your next event, 
then you can select "
New event from existing one ... " and program opens entire setup.
In other words,  you can create several typical events as templates for all subsequent events
 






 
                                  
   
      2. step        Enter the name of the Event / select hot folder(s) from   
      which the apllication will colect the event images   

 
 
After pressing " New Event " you must enter -
Name ( example : wedding Smith ) and set hot folder on your computer ( example : wedding 4.6.2016 ) to which all event images will be stored ( you can test application to copy images manually into folder, but during event much better if images are sent automatically from camera via WIFI or downloaded from Twitter / Instagram ). If you start application with RUN button,  whole  event is  saved  including all images to preset Folder ( C:\Users ....), you can change path as you like ( anyhow it is recommended to to select folder on locad disc )

Execution mode :
Automatic / Manual 

If you select
AUTOMATIC, after starting the application, each event image that appears at hot folder is automatically processed and printed without your intervention,  you just taking and sending images from the camera.
As you can see in the menu, the program is designed even to large scale events. You can preset 5 hot folders, so 5 phoptographers can send images simultaneously , each in its hot folder

If you select
MANUAL, everything is the same, but each displayed event image is waitting for your command -  Send or  Discard,
 so you print only images you wish or customer chooses.
 






 
   
      3. step         Set the photo format you want to print 
 

You can print 2 print sizes simultaneously.

Set first print size at Channel 1 ( example : 10x15cm )
If you activate
Channel 2 you can set second format ( for example 15x23 or 20x30 ... )

Printing options - except format you can set print speed ( Quality ), finishing mode ( Glossy / Matte ) and Cut mode - borderless photo
with auto trim or photo printed with entire area of the image,
white border around photo
 






 
                                  
   
      4. step          Set color balance
